Been a while since I posted new work here! Mausoleum is now available through @undercasetype bit.ly/3x5ALDR #fonts #variablefonts #fontdesign

@sleepingplanes @jessicahische @benkiel @Dan_Cassaro @briancollins1 @youngstownjesse @frerejones Fraunces on @googlefonts has a softness variable axis, though it is a serif family. Curious if any sans have used the “softness” spec.

@jessicahische and for what it’s worth, HRT is absolutely life saving for so many trans women. Estrogen for me was like getting out of a house that was on fire.

Terfs should consider how abysmal it is to have estrogen in your body sometimes and the fact that trans women opt in to this experience means they are more committed to womanhood than cis women could ever be.

@EvaSilvertant Nick Walker write a book on this, I believe she coined the term neuroqueer: amazon.com/Neuroqueer-Her…

Figma finally supports variable fonts… and look who is making an appearance, dear Fraunces 🤩

@ArrowType Ooooh, I’ve been having this problem in RF3, and only noticed it recently when I upgraded to the most recent fontmake. Curious to hear if you find a programmatic way around it.

RoboFont/Python question: I’ve been getting an odd issue with start points that have the index of "2" where I would expect "0". Where might that be coming from, and how can I programmatically correct it? forum.robofont.com/topic/1027/why…

Hey type nerds, anyone know what font this is, or styles similar to it? I've seen it used on like auto mechanics, with the vertical diagonals on the V/M.

@verycoolstudio Love it, pointy serifs are giving Excoffon vibes

Three weights of VC Garamond Condensed, my holiday break exercise in redrawing a big ol' classic from memory. Pretty sure this is dying on the hard drive, so it might as well go here. drive.google.com/file/d/1rmxBRQ…

@typographica @Lett_Arc Oh fun, I hadn’t seen a set with lowercase 😊

@typographica Hm, I wonder if it was part of a Mitten’s letters set? I’ve never seen one at an angle, but those were all made of plaster.

@Dan_Cassaro 😭 so cuuute

Hell yeah

I bought my 3 year old daughter a cassette player for her birthday and boy am I excited to be making mix tapes again.

Fraunces by @undercasetype is a large #variablefont. An "Old Style" soft-serif, inspired by early 20th century fonts, with weight (thin-black), optical size (9pt-144pt), softness (sharp to super soft) and a special wonk axis (on/off).🐩 fonts.google.com/specimen/Fraun…
